Gravitational scattering of massless scalars in QFT and superstring theory

چکیده
In this paper we perform the calculation of the gravitational scattering amplitude for 4 massless scalars in quantum field theory and Type II superstring theory. We show that the results agree, providing an example of how gravity is incorporated in the superstring theory. During the calculation we quantize gravitational action to derive graviton propagator and interaction vertex with massless scalar. We also calculate general 3-point and 4-point scattering amplitudes in SST for open and closed massless strings in NS sector.

The Gravitational Field of String Matter
We study the scattering of a massless and neutral test particle in the gravitational field of a body (the string star) made of a large number of scalar states of the superstring. We consider two cases, the one in which these states are neutral string excitations massive already in ten dimensions and the one in which their masses (and charges) originate in the process of compactification on tori...
متن کاملGravitational Perturbations of a Six Dimensional Self-Tuning Model
We investigate gravitational perturbations in a compact six-dimensional self-tuning brane model. We specifically look for analytic solutions to the perturbed Einstein equations that correspond in four-dimensions to massless or approximately massless scalars coupled to matter on the brane. The presence of such modes with gravitational couplings would be phenomenologically unacceptable. The most ...
متن کاملHigher N-point Amplitudes in Open Superstring Theory
In this work we report on recent progress in the calculation of open superstring scattering amplitudes, at tree level, with more than four external massless states. We also report on the corresponding terms in the low energy effective lagrangian.
متن کاملBending of light in quantum gravity.
We consider the scattering of lightlike matter in the presence of a heavy scalar object (such as the Sun or a Schwarzschild black hole). By treating general relativity as an effective field theory we directly compute the nonanalytic components of the one-loop gravitational amplitude for the scattering of massless scalars or photons from an external massive scalar field. These results allow a se...
متن کاملCorrelation functions along a massless flow.
A non-perturbative method based on the Form Factor bootstrap approach is proposed for the analysis of correlation functions of 2-D massless integrable theories and applied to the massless flow between the Tricritical and the Critical Ising Models. 1. The 2-D integrable Quantum Field Theories (QFT) associated to the massless Renormalization Group (RG) flows between two different fixed points des...
